Summary

Carver High School Early College is a public high school located in Atlanta, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 526 students. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carver High School Early College has consistently underperformed compared to the Atlanta Public Schools district and the state of Georgia in standardized test scores, with significantly lower proficiency rates in subjects like American Literature and Composition, Algebra I, and Biology. However, the school has had relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.4% to 92.7% over the past few years, which are comparable to the 85.4% four-year graduation rate for the Atlanta Public Schools district. Carver High School Early College also has a very high percentage of students (100%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Tri-Cities High School, South Atlanta High School, and McNair High School, Carver High School Early College generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. However, the school's early college designation and higher per-student spending do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resources to address the root causes of its academic underperformance.

I graduated from Carver Early College in the year of 2012. I remember being praised for an almost perfect pass rate and ranking so high in the state. Till this day, I still brag about this. We had amazing teachers like Mr. Rennie, Mrs. Conner, Mr. Rehman, Mr. Miller, etc. And I can't forget about our principal, our amazing principal. This school has set me up for success. Although it seems to be going downhill now, I hope that it will turn around in the future. Thank you Early College! Close Quote
